Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Enthusiastic skywatchers try to never miss a total eclipse of the Moon. The spectacle is often more beautiful and interesting than one would think. The next opportunity is tonight: Wednesday, here Oct. 27.





The Moon, ask normally lit by reflected sunlight, will enter and later emerge from the shadow of Earth. Much of the change will be obvious. But secondary phenomena may be overlooked.





This chronology includes some of the things you might expect to see. Probably not all of those mentioned will occur because no two eclipses are exactly the same. But many will, and those who know what to look for have a better chance of seeing it!
